• A two stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which all the events are completed in two strokes of the piston or one rotation of crank shaft.
• A two stroke engine delivers one power stroke for every rotation.
• Following strokes are continuously taking place.
ü Upward stroke – Suction and compression takes place.
ü Downward stroke – Expansion and exhaust stroke
CONSTRUCTION :-
• Engine consists of cylinder piston arrangement, crank case, spark plug, connecting rod, crank shaft, inlet and outlet port, transfer port.
• During the upward stroke inlet port is used to takes the air fuel mixture in crank case.
• Transfer port is used to transfer the air fuel mixture from crank case to combustion region.
• In two stroke engine piston having some special shape called crowning
• Crown is used to avoid the mixing of fresh charge with the burnt gas.
UPWARD STROKE OR SUCTION AND COMPRESSION:-
• Piston moves BDC to TDC. At this time charge is compressed at the top of cylinder.
• At the same time inlet port is opened by the lower edge of the piston.
• Due to the partial vacuum in crank case, suction will be carried. So charge is drawn into the crank case.
• This air fuel mixture forces the air fuel mixture already placed in crank case to the transfer port.
• And then it enters into the combustion region. Now the piston closes the transfer port and then it closed exhaust port.
• When the piston reached TDC spark plug ignites air fuel mixture and combustion takes place.
DOWNWARD STROKE OR EXPANSION AND EXHAUST :-
• After the combustion, high temperature and pressure created inside the cylinder.
• Due to this piston moves in downward direction. At this time both exhaust and transfer port is opened. Inlet port is closed.
• Then fresh charge pushes the exhaust gas through the exhaust port.
• When the piston reach BDC the piston moves upward again and the cycle will be continued.
